QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this soundtrack from the second season of the TV show adheres to the JoBros' classic formula: super-clean tunes that talk mostly about young love and reaching for your dreams. Overall, the album is fine for tweens.
What's the story?
JONAS L.A. is a collection of tracks from the second season of the TV show by the same name, starring the most popular young trio on the tween scene -- the Jonas Brothers. In the show, the guys play (surprise!) musicians, giving them yet another outlet for their real-life songs. Like the vast majority of their tunes that came before, the 13 songs on JONAS L.A. are super wholesome, dealing with the same topics that most tweens spend their time thinking about: romantic relationships, striving to achieve goals, and growing up in general. Though a couple of songs hint at physical intimacy (for example, "I just want to hold you in my arms"), these tunes are largely innocent, making them OK for adolescents.
Is it any good?
From a musical perspective, the songs are fairly predictable, demonstrating the same synth-pop approach that characterizes so much of the music from the JoBros and their peers like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. That said, the album does offer a few cute standouts that deviate from the beaten path, like "Summer Rain" and "Your Biggest Fan."
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how this TV show mirrors the JoBros' own lives. Can it be considered acting when you're playing a character that so closely resembles your own life?
What are some different types of characters that each of the JoBros could play that would help them to stretch their creative boundaries?

Ummm... let's see.
I don't really like this show at all. I mean, maybe some children under my age would like it but... ummm. The Jonas Brothers aren't that good at singing in my opinion but I think they'd better stick to that instead of ACTING. No offense Jonas Brothers, I like you... really but their acting is not good.

The Lyrics are too.. the same!
Most of the songs lyrics is "L.A. L.A. BayBAY, L.A. L.A. L.A. BayBAY..." that irritates me, I'm sorry. Seriously, I'm sorry to sound like a hater, on some songs their voices are okay, but they arent my favorites at ALL. By the way, am I the only one that thought Kevin and Joe were twins for awhile? It appears everyone knew they werent but me!
